Astaroth, Seong Mi-Na revealed for Soul Calibur VI at Evo 2018

Fans of Soul Calibur were treated to not just one, but two character reveals right before the Tekken 7 top 8 began today at Evo 2018: Big bad Axe Golem Astaroth, and the weapon-hunting Seong Mi-Na have made Soul Calibur VI‘s cast.

Astaroth returns with the host of command grabs he’s gained over the course of several games, and gains a buffed Poseidon Tide while in Soul Charge. Mi-Na, meanwhile, seems completely overhauled, showing off a bevy of new tools, though some of her chunkier attacks (SC2’s 44A+B, 8A+B) do make a return. Perhaps most interesting is that her Soul Charge gives her a more powerful new string off of 1K — and do my eyes deceive me, or is 1K faster now? Mi-Na fans, rejoice!
